Product description

These ShieldPro Mylar bags combined with oxygen absorbers, when stored in a rigid container, have proven to be the ideal way to store dehydrated goods for long-term storage. Mylar bags protect your food investment from the effects of oxygen, moisture contamination, and light penetration. They are excellent for the long-term storage of dehydrated foods because they have a FDA approved sealant layer and can be heat sealed with a standard clothing iron on the wool setting, or a hair straightener. Simply add the dehydrated food to the mylar bag, place appropriate number of oxygen absorbers on top, and push out as much residual air as possible before sealing the bag.

These bags are what needed and that oxygen absorbers come with the bags are a big plus. They both worked SUPER!!' This was my first time in sealing food in Mylar bags and it was sooooo easy! I used a $10.00 women's 1" hair straightens iron and I got a perfect seal in all 12 of my bags. I did not need to use a vacuum machine I just push most of the air and then I put 3 oxygen absorbers in each bag. I place one in the bottom one in the middle and one near the top. I think I only needed to use 2 instead of 3. I stored beans, 3 different types, rice and oatmeal. They all look great! Great Bags and absorbers. Nice people to deal with!!!!! I will be ordering more soon!

this is to update my earlier review. Within an hour of posting my review the company contacted me to see what went wrong and what they could do. As it turned out I just did not understand the difference in packing bulk items vs. airy dry items. After speaking with the company I tried storing other items with bulk and was pleased to see that it worked just as stated. Hate that my lack of knowledge caused a bad review. I have never had a company respond to me like that. Very impressive!

These bags are translucent. See the picture I uploaded. Otherwise, I think this is a good option and a good deal for a beginner like me.

Long-term storage requires protection from insects, rodents, moisture, oxidation, heat, and light. Based on their initial performance, I believe these bags and oxygen absorbers will be effective against insects, moisture, and oxidation. The bags are not light proof, and no mylar bag will protect against rodents.

Because they aren't lightproof, food stored in these bags needs to be kept in a dark environment. The 5-gallon plastic pails often recommended are also not lightproof and will not protect food stored in these bags. Lining the pail with aluminum foil would exclude the light.

I am a beginner at food storage, so I bought these as a low-investment option to start with. I bought 60 bags and 60 oxygen absorbers from Advice & Beans, fulfilled by Amazon. The bags mic to 3.5 mils, and the oxygen absorbers came in 3 bags of 20 with pink indicators.

I used the first pack of 20 oxygen absorbers to bag up 50 pounds of rice and 50 pounds of pinto beans. When I managed to squeeze out most of the air before sealing, my bags tightened up as if they were vacuum packed. See the picture I uploaded. Overall, I am satisfied.

More robust bags (4.5 to 7 mil) have thicker aluminum layers that will provide total light protection and better overall performance. I will probably graduate to that kind of product now that I feel more confident in my ability to pack and seal correctly.

Being a relative newbie to the food storage game, I didn’t really know what to expect when ordering this bundle. I was very impressed with the product. Usually, I use my food saver and/or canning jars with the air removed for storage but found it limiting to how the product can be stored. This system now solves my problem. I experimented on a 50-pound bag of popcorn and loved it!Pros:• Easy to use with clear instructions on the bag.• Tech support available when you need it.• The absorbers came in three bags of 20 so you don’t have to worry about storing unused ones.o I had 6 left from my first bag and used a canning jar and my food saver to store.• The low cost makes it very forgiving when you error with your sealing.

Cons:• The bags let light in. However, if you place the sealed bag in a black storage container, this negates the drawback.• I wish there a few extra absorbers for errors.

All in all I would recommend this product to anyone interested in storing for for long term emergency situations. I will be ordering more of these bags after I run out, which should be by next week.

Pair this up with Foodsaver Vacuum Seal machine, produce excellent result. First, "regular" seal all sides of Mylar bag, except for 1" opening; with food product already placed inside, of course. Then, insert an approx 1" strip with 2" length of Foodsaver channel plastic (cut out from Foodsaver bag) into the opening, with the air channels facing outward. Run the Foodsaver machine with "vacuum" seal upon the opening to suck all air out. This way, I get a Mylar bag vacuum sealed product. Sometimes, I feel that I overkill my food. Well. to double the overkill, run an iron along the seams. This could potentially help the water-proofing of it.

These 1 gallon sized Mylar bags are perfect for long term storage of larger amounts of bulk foods. I am using them for pasta, rice and beans with a 300cc oxygen absorber. The next day there is an obvious slight reduction in the amount of free air in the bag. This tells me I am getting a good seal with my regular household iron and that the oxygen absorbers are doing their job. The oxygen absorbers came in 2 packs which were tightly compressed and had a pink indicator paper that they were still good. They have always arrived in undamaged boxes. Overall this is my favorite sized bad for the size and the number per pack. I have purchased smaller Mylar bags that have the resealable zipper lock, I don't like these as much because I don't feel I get a tight enough seal...but I'll find if there is an emergency and we need to supplement our meals or when we are on a fixed income and need cash for other things besides food.

So glad to learn of something to help extend the life of foods that we might otherwise have to toss. I don't have a straightener so I use a curling iron. The bag does stay hot for longer than you'd expect after sealing. So be careful. Wish I had known that before burning myself. Also the oxygen absorbers get hot when just waiting on the counter to be used. Put them in a glass jar as soon as you open them.
